Under the Tuscan Sun

Looking from our stone cottage porch over the Tuscan hillside and vineyards, I can’t imagine a more beautiful place to be. After spending four days in downtown Rome, the peaceful, breathtaking countryside is a welcome change. Rome was amazing. Immense, ancient, and European, Rome was everything but disappointing. Tuscany, though… Tuscany is everything I imagined it would be and more. Rome was touring; Tuscany is vacation.
